-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013) at LAK2013 Datum: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:52:02 +0100 Von: Ravi Vatrapu <rv.itm(a)cbs.dk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 2nd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013) at LAK2013 -- Third Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge <http://lakconference2013.wordpress.com/> 9 April 2013, Leuven, Belgium *Description* The core problem that this workshop series on "Teaching Analytics" addresses is that in comparison with most other professionals from whom clients expect rapid decisions in a dynamically changing environment, presently teachers often do not get the information they need for decision making in a timely fashion and in a meaningful and actionable format. Teaching Analytics is conceived as a subfield of learning analytics that focuses on the design, development, evaluation, and education of visual analytics methods and tools for teachers in primary, secondary, and tertiary educational settings. Teachers' professional practices with visual analytics methods and tools are a central concern of teaching analytics. Teaching analytics methods and tools aim to develop innovative solutions to assist and augment teachers' dynamic diagnostic decision-making in the classrooms of the 21^st century. An example usage scenario (but not limited to) is the use of teaching analytics methods and tools in high-performance classrooms that are characterized by 1:1 computing, high cognitive density, and big data. Building on the NEXT-TELL project and the first international workshop on teaching analytics (TAPTA-2012) held at EC-TEL 2012 (http://www.next-tell.eu/tapta/), the current workshop (IWTA-2013) explores methods and tools to support teachers' professional vision in classrooms. This workshop's ambitious objective is to jumpstart a new learning analytics research stream on teaching analytics by bringing together learning scientists in different sub-fields such as CSCL, ITS, EDM, researchers in Visual Analytics, and data scientists working with "Big Data" in public institutions and private enterprises. In addition to researchers, we are also targeting teachers at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education to be involved as co-designers and discussants. As mentioned earlier, the first workshop on teaching analytics (TAPTA-2012, http://www.next-tell.eu/tapta/), was held at EC-TEL 2012. The workshop participants included researchers as well as teachers. Topics presented and discussed at the first workshop included semiology for teaching analytics, multi-domain perspective on data collection and analysis, ontological engineering and scripting applications, open learner models, browser-based learning management system extensions, and investigation tools for teacher training. Teachers from the Strömstad Gymnasium, Sweden were invited to present their observations and reflections on the pedagogical practices in their 1:1 laptop school. Workshop proceedings are available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-894/. The key lessons learnt from the first workshop were the need to further focus the workshop on teachers' current pedagogical and analytical practices, expand the scope to include real-time teaching scenarios in the actual classroom, and explicitly emphasize the use of visual analytics for technology enhanced formative assessment. Based on the above, we invite researchers and teachers to participate in the IWTA-2013. Workshop submissions can be in the form of position papers, tool demonstrations, conceptual sketches, and/or thought experiments. Please note workshop submissions should be concerned with teachers' use of visual analytics methods and tools in some shape or form. No requirements are placed on contexts such as high-performance classrooms or big data volumes or real-time decision-making. Topics IWTA-2013 workshop topics include but are not limited to the following: * Historical and contemporary practices in notations, representations, and visualizations of classroom activities and student learning * Theories and methods for designing and evaluating new notations, representations, and visualizations for teaching analytics * Cognitive dimensions of notations for learning and teaching purposes * Visual analytics for activity tracking * Visual analytics for knowledge tracking * Visual analytics for formative vs. summative evaluations * Visual analytics for technology enhanced formative assessment * Engendering teachers' professional vision in high-performance classrooms * Synthesis of visual analytics oriented theory and practice in the Learning Sciences, e-Learning, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), Educational Data Mining, and Learning Analytics. * Technical architectures and technological infrastructure for teaching analytics * Linked Data for teaching analytics * Instrumentation of classrooms and ecosystems for learning and teaching * Critical perspectives on teaching analytics Selection Process 4-6 page position papers/1-2 page tool demonstration/1-page conceptual sketches/1-paragraph thought experiments will be sought through a Call for Papers distributed widely. We will constitute a Program Committee and assign two reviewers to each submission (at least one PC members and one other submitting author). * Submission deadline: 22 February 2013 * Notification of acceptance: 08 March 2013 * Camera-ready version of accepted papers: 22 March 2013 * Workshop date: Tuesday, 09 April 2013 Submissions should be made by e-mail to iwta(a)next-tell.eu <mailto:iwta@next-tell.eu> Dissemination The proceedings will be published online in the CEUR series of workshop proceedings.

Organizations that are planning to use cloud computing offerings struggle with the question â??How do I choose the right offering?â?? Cloud offerings exhibit a variety of pricing models and different levels of service and functionality. In this article the authors define first Cloud Computing in the context of IT Governance. Then they set criteria to compare different offerings at the level of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This is an important precondition for the reduction of the verifiable information asymmetry and uncertainty in the cloud market. Besides deficiencies on the supply side, regarding configuration, display and communication of service bundles, the limited knowledge of potential buyers is main reason for the modest adoption. The authors apply strategies derived from information economics to reduce this asymmetry by integrating information substitutes in the service marketplace description, thereby transforming experience and credence qualities into search qualities.

AcuÃ±a (Escuela PolitÃ©cnica Superior and Universidad AutÃ³noma, Madrid, Spain), Marcela Genero (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid, Spain) and JosÃ© A. Cruz-Lemus (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid, Spain) Â Team member knowledge and expertise are the aspects typically considered important for software team development formation. However, the authors believe that the formation of teams, as is found in literature, could be based on factors related to the personalities of the members of the development team, and that these factors might affect both the quality of the software product developed and the satisfaction perceived by the development team. In this work they present a controlled experiment, which was carried out during an academic course on Data Bases. The intention of this experiment was to evaluate whether the work teamâ??s level of extraversion influenced, on the one hand, the final quality of the software products obtained and, on the other, the satisfaction perceived while this work was being carried out. The results obtained indicate that when forming work teams, project managers and lecturers should carry out a personality test beforehand in order to balance the amount of extraverted team members with those who are not extraverted. This would permit the team members to feel satisfied with the work carried out by the team without reducing the quality of the software products developed.

Perspective Â AdriÃ¡n HernÃ¡ndez-LÃ³pez (Computer Science Department, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid, Spain) Â Job satisfaction and motivation are traditional areas of organizational psychology research. Nevertheless, within Software Engineering (SE), these concepts continue to be in the research agenda. These concepts are interrelated between them and with other important management aspects within SE: productivity measurement. In this paper, the job satisfaction and the motivation of software development team members are analyzed using a qualitative exploratory approach. Results are presented under the point of view of Maslowâ??s hierarchy of needs and Herzbergâ??s dual factor theory. Moreover, the factors that participants considered as improvers of their productivity are also analyzed. And also, links between productivity factors and motivation are analyzed. Finally, results points to a high presence of hygienic factors that should be covered if organizations what to improve the job satisfaction of software project team workers.

Collaborative e-learning technologies include a variety of approaches that involve joint intellectual effort by learners and instructors.In such learning contexts, collaborative learning happens when groups of learning seekers work together to search for understanding or meaning or build a new competency, and/or learning providers and pedagogues deliver joint solutions to create a learning product. In addition collaborative e-learning involves other issues related to the software and hardware architectures that underlie e-learning systems, or the evaluation of these systems using techniques such as learning analytics. This workshop solicits researches for systems and concepts which offer high quality education with thinking of learners' convenience, such as collaborative learning systems, sharing and exchanging systems, monitoring/mentoring systems, learning design and pedagogy in technology-enhanced learning, design and development of e-learning systems, quality in e-learning, and learning analytics. E-Learning outcomes have been judged to be equivalent or superior to face-to-face instructions at many institutions and it has the same educational effect on learners in instructors' impressions.Hence, this is a promising field with a lot of potentials. We invite original contributions from researchers and practitioners in academia, government and industry, in order to go forward toward new collaborative information technology systems for e-Learning. - Workshop Topics of Interest include, but not limited to: - Learning Theories and Approaches for e-Learning - e-Learning Pedagogical Strategies and Models - Pedagogy in Technology-enhanced Learning - Collaborative Learning Systems - Monitoring/Mentoring Systems - Designing e-Learning Settings and Tasks - Knowledge Management/Sharing - Learning Design Technology - Organizational Collaboration - Learning Management Systems (LMS) - Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) Tools - Social Support Software for e-Learning - e-Moderating, e-Tutoring, e-Facilitating - Online Assessment and Impact Studies - Ethical Issues in e-learning - Virtual Classrooms - Smart Collaborative Learning Environments - Media for Group Works - Network Learning Games - Learning Web Services - Best Practices to Promote Cooperative Learning - Videogames in e-learning - Software and hardware architecture of e-learning systems - Learning analytics - Web 2.0 and e-learning PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to e-Learning and collaboration systems.Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.The full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format.Additional pages will be charged at additional fee.Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer tohttp://cts2013.cisedu.info/home/postersfor the posters submission details)will also be accepted.In case of multiple authors, an indication of which author is responsible for correspondence must be indicated.Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.

Enterprise modelling delivers the 'blueprints' for co-designing and aligning business and enterprise information systems such that they complement each other in an optimal way. As example consider the support of business processes by process-aware information systems. Achieving such interplay requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, eco- nomic, and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud, social and big data, additional chal- lenges for enterprise modelling and the design of information systems architectures are introduced, e.g., in respect to the design of data-driven processes or processes enabling cross-enterprise collabo- ration. To deal with these challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as Information Systems, Business Informatics, and Computer Science will be required. Subject and Topics ===================== EMISA 2013 is the fifth international workshop in a series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of enterprise modeling and the design of information system (IS) archi- tectures. The workshop series emphasizes a holistic view on these fields, fostering integrated ap- proaches that address and relate business processes, business people and information technology. EMISA'13 will provide an international forum to explore new avenues in enterprise modeling and the design of IS architectures by combining the contributions of different schools of Information Systems, Business Informatics, and Computer Science. The EMISA'13 workshop is open for a broad range of subjects and welcomes scientific submissions as well as experience papers on enterprise modeling and information systems architectures. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Enterprise modelling: languages, methods, tools - Patterns for enterprise modelling and information systems architectures - Model life cycle management and model evolution - Model configuration and management of model variants - Model quality: metrics, case studies, experiments - Process modelling and process-aware information systems - Collaborative enterprise modeling - Model-driven architectures and model-driven IS development - Component- and service-oriented software architectures - Service engineering and evolution - Service composition, orchestration and choreography - Complex event processing and event-driven architectures - Human aspects in enterprise modeling - Modeling social information and innovation networks - Private and public cloud computing infrastructures and their influence on IS engineering - Mobile enterprise services - Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0 and beyond Organization ===================== The workshop is jointly organized by the GI Special Interest Group on Design Methods for Information Systems (GI-SIG EMISA) and the GI Special Interest Group on Modelling Business Information Systems (GI-SIG MobIS).

Call for Participation 2nd Workshop on Mapping Research in Mobility and Mobile Information Systems – MMSmap 2013 http://fg-mms.gi.de/veranstaltungen/2nd-workshop-on-mapping-research-in-mob… Magdeburg, Germany, March 11th, 2013 within the 15th GI-Symposium Database Systems for Business, Technology and Web (BTW 2013) http://www.btw-2013.de/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Description: ===================== Mobility is key for modern computer-based information systems: users are mobile, devices are mobile, services are mobile, workflows include mobility, business models reflect mobility, etc. Researchers have worked in this area since more than 10 years. In Germany, the GI-section “Mobility and Mobile Information Systems – FG MMS” founded in Spring 2005 aims at bundling activities in this field. In October 2006 the first edition of this workshop took place at Dagstuhl. During this meeting participants structured the (German) research landscape on MMS topics. These efforts resulted in the MMS conference series, various research collaborations and supported the development of the MMS section as an active part of the GI. Due to technical developments in the hardware sector (e.g., smartphones) and the network infrastructure (e.g., UMTS, LTE), many former visions have by now become reality. Nevertheless, there are many open research questions left. To build future work on a solid basis the MMS organizers’ board plans seven years after the first workshop to consolidate the mobility research landscape in 2013, again. To derive a detailed summary of mobility research (in Germany) we aim to hold a “real” workshop that is divided into two parts: 1) brief presentations of participants’ recent work or developments and future research or developments they foresee as well as 2) a moderated broad discussion that helps to focus or identify main drivers and research questions during the next years. Therefore, the second part of the workshop is planned to be a so-called future search conference. The main outcome of this workshop will be on the one hand a map (landscape) of mobile research (in Germany) and on the other hand a roadmap describing future trends and steps in this field as a kind of research agenda for the next few years. We invite researchers as well as practitioners of the mobile community to participate in this workshop presenting their most recent research topics in the morning session of the workshop and to actively participate during the afternoon discussion. The presentation of each participant should be no longer than ten to fifteen minutes giving the opportunity for first very brief (five minutes) discussion afterwards. To participate in this one day workshop please register your interest before 31.01.2013 via email to Markus Bick (mbick(a)escpeurope.eu) of the organizers. Please indicate, whether you will participate in the workshop actively (presenting) or more or less passively. In a next step, we would like to ask those who want to present their recent research to submit their presentation before 17.02.2013 to the workshop organizers. The presentation (PDF file) should preferably be around 12 slides and address the aspects like: relevance of the topic, problem description and challenges, corresponding research methods to solve the problem, examples of first results. The presentations will be screened by the organizers to structure the workshop considering different subject areas. Additionally, some feedback will be provided. Revised final presentations are due on the 28.02.2013, please send to mbick(a)escpeurope.eu if they should be provided as handouts to the other participants. Summary of Important Dates: =========================== - 31.01.2013, register your interest - 17.02.2013, submit presentation - 28.02.2013, revised / final presentations due - 11.03.2013, workshop in Magdeburg Organizers: =========== - Prof. Dr. Hagen Höpfner (†), Bauhaus-Universität Weimar - Prof. Dr. Birgitta König-Ries, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena - Prof. Dr. Markus Bick, ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin, mbick(a)escpeurope.eu (primary contact person) The workshop contributions will not be published in form of proceedings etc. In contrast workshop results (map/landscape and roadmap) will be published on the MMS website (http://fg-mms.gi.de/). ---------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Markus Bick Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin Heubnerweg 8-10 D-14059 Berlin Tel.: +49 (0)30 32007-182 Fax: + 49 (0)30 32007-131 http://www.escpeurope.de/wi -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

This tutorial covers the whole spectrum of business process management. It is based on a textbook on the fundamentals of business process management published by Springer which is co-authored by the tutorial presenter. Organizing Committee ==================== General Chairs: * Birgit Hofreiter, Vienna University of Technology, Austria * KJ Lin, University of California, Irvine, USA Domain Coordinators (Track Chairs): * Jorge Sanz, IBM Research, USA * Jan Mendling, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria * Ulrich Frank, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany * Erik Proper, Public Research Centre Henri Tudor, Luxembourg * José Tribolet, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal * Frank Harmsen, Ernst & Young EMEIA Center of Excellence IT Transformation, Maastricht University and Free University Amsterdam, Netherlands * Eng Chew, University of Technology Sydney, Australia * Stéphane Marchand-Maillet * Ying Chen, IBM Research, USA * Takayuki Ito, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan * Thomas Setzer, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany * Christoph Weinhardt, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Cross-Domain Coordinator (PC Chair) * Christian Huemer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Description of CBI Domains: =========================== 1. Business Process Engineering Business Informatics deals with information processes in organizations, industries and society at large. This concept of "information in motion" links to business processes deeply. Processes are the expression of the behavior of organizations and this behavior leaves footprints in the form of artifacts of all sorts, including information. Thus, Business Informatics profoundly intersects with the social enterprise from a unique perspective, namely, the integration of information and people's behavior. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Business Process Architecture and Process Taxonomies * Information-centric Business Process Models * The liaison between Organizational Routines and Processes * Process as Enacting Organizational Capabilities * Transformation and Business Process Centers of Excellence: Case Studies * Management and Governance for Business Process Engineering * Business Process Analytics and Decision-Making * Tooling for Business Process Engineering -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Enterprise Modeling Enterprise modeling is concerned with the modeling of different aspects of an enterprise (goals, capabilities, organizational structures, business processes, resources, information, people, constraints, etc.) and their interrelationships. Accordingly, enterprise modeling offers different perspectives of an enterprise suitable for strategic planning, organizational design and software engineering. It covers the notation and semantics of enterprise modeling languages, the processes involved in creating and managing models, tool support, as well as quality of modeling. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Enterprise modeling methods, languages, and tools * Enterprise model management and reuse * The process of modeling and guidelines for modeling * Collaborative enterprise modeling * Competencies of modelers and modeling teams -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Enterprise Architecture In contrast to partial architectures such as IT architecture or software architecture, enterprise architecture focuses on the overall enterprise. Enterprise architecture explicitly incorporates business-related concepts and artifacts in addition to traditional IS/IT artifacts. By embracing an enterprise-wide perspective enterprise architecture provides a means for organizations to coordinate their adaptations to increasingly fast changing market conditions which impact the entire enterprise, from business processes to IT support. Specific (not limitative) topics: * EA as a means for strategy elaboration and execution * EA modeling languages, tools, viewpoints and frameworks * EA management and governance * EA reference models and simplified / agile methods * EA Case studies -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Enterprise Engineering The enterprise engineering domain aims to apply an engineering based approach to the design of enterprises and their transformation. As such, this domain is concerned with the development of new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Enterprise Ontology * Enterprise Implementation Design * Business Rules Management * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Enterprise & Business Transformation Modern day enterprises are in a constant state of flux. New technologies, new markets, globalization, mergers, acquisitions, cost reduction and operational performance improvements are among the "usual suspects" that require enterprises to transform themselves. These transformations involve both the development of new business models, as well as transformations of the enterprise as a whole. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Methodologies and approaches for enterprise & business transformation * Modeling languages and analysis techniques needed for enterprise & business transformation * Methodologies and approaches to set up/mature an organization's transformation capability * Competencies needed to conduct/drive enterprise & business transformations * Case studies in enterprise & business transformation * Industry-specific trends in the evolution of business organizations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Business (Model) & Service Innovation We live in a service dominant economy. Being successful in business no longer depends on having the "best" product, but increasingly depends on delivering high quality services, through attractive customer-centric business models, at affordable costs. This forces enterprises to continuously develop/innovate their services and renew/innovate their business models. The world's evolution toward services-based clusters also brings new trends that blur the traditional boundaries across conventional industries, thus generating new opportunities for economies of scale and scope. This has led to increasing interests by disparate industries around the globe in the "art and science" of the practices of service innovation. A new concept, called service-dominant logic, has recently been introduced in the business discipline to study service phenomena - one that has significant cross-disciplinary implications for the research and design of IT-enabled service innovations and the attendant service systems. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Concepts and methods in understanding and anticipating customer needs, involving customers in business and service innovation processes, earning models, resources, stakeholders, service recovery approaches, testing and prototyping services, integration with existing service portfolios, service interaction, etc. * Software and technology in business and service innovation * Managing the service innovation process, innovative culture and leadership, enhancement of creativity * Cases of innovation in different service industries: industrial service, creative industries, travel and leisure, public service, IT-services, banking etc. * Education in business and service innovation and design -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Empowering & Enabling Technologies Enabling technologies in Business Informatics integrate management practices with Informatics and Information Technologies. Business Informatics tasks may be performed, supported or monitored by automated or semi-automated technologies. Running environments range from thin mobile clients to large-scale distributed platforms, and newer areas such as analytics services, big data. Accordingly, we seek papers for original and innovative empowering and enabling technologies in domains related to Business Informatics. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Business (Big) Data and Knowledge Integration, Management and Mining * Information Retrieval and Information Filtering * Recommender Systems * Tools for ensuring and monitoring Security, Privacy, Trust and Risk in Business Informatics tasks * Support of users and communities in Business environments, specialized Human Computer Interaction * Technology support for Electronic Business and Electronic Commerce -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Social & Frontier Technologies New technologies such as M2M and social networks present a new frontier for business. This presents a reverse paradigm from the traditional model of using IT support for existing business to building business for the new technology. BI needs a new perspective on how to identify business opportunity, business model, business support around some new technologies, e.g. data broker for smart meters, context-driven business, etc. for next generation cloud-based companies like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Specific (not limitative) topics: * Social networks * Social computing * Mobile computing * Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M) * Smarter planet * Digital Economics and Market Theory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Data-Driven Service and Market Engineering Economic problems faced by today's organizations as well as society as a whole demand interdisciplinary knowledge from economics, management and informatics. Thus, economic modeling of IT-based solutions for analytically and statistically formulated economic problems is subject to this track. In particular, we are interested in the intelligent reduction of problem-relevant features from vast datasets Including customer dynamics, market behavior, resource usage, etc. Accordingly, we aim for research at the interface of economic theories, game theory, advanced analytics, prediction, and computational methods to solve managerial decisions and planning problems. Specific (not limitative) topics: * e-Market place design * Negotiations and contracting * Tariffs, pricing, and profits * Dynamic resource allocation * Behavioral pattern * Technology adoption and diffusion * Productivity and business value of IT and data * Data Science and advanced analytics * Prediction and Causal Forecasting * Smart measurements and collaborative monitoring _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
